Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced CT in diagnosis of mesenteric fibromatosis (MF).Methods CT images of 6 patients with pathologically proved mesenteric fibromatosis were retrospectively analyzed.The imaging characteristics analysis in-cluded the number,size,density of the lesion,the degree and quality of enhancement,as well as the relationship with the surrounding tissues.Results Singular lesion located in the mesentery was found in all the 6 patients (100%).The size of all cases ranges from 2.0 cm to 8.5 cm and the mean diameter was 6.5 cm.CT scan showed 5 tumors were homogeneous (83.3%),while one tumor had mixed den-sity (1 6.7%).On contrast-enhanced CT images,5 cases showed mild enhancement (83.3%),while 1 case showed moderate en-hancement (1 6.7%).And 4 cases appeared as heterogeneous enhancement (66.7%).4 cases of lesions infiltrated the surrounding tissue(66.7%)and the peripheral intestines were compressed in 2 cases(33.3%).5 masses were surrounded by mesenteric vessels (83.3%).Conclusion MF has certain CT manifestations,especially when mesenteric vascular surrounded the lesion.CT can provide important information for the diagnosis of this disease.
